How do you hit the 5000' remaining sign on takeoff?

6 FA is normal for the A321T. Best food and service we have domestically.

321T only seats 102. Half the square footage of the airplane is First Class and Business Class.

That’s some real nifty flying. Figured it had to be a CRJ200.... but taking out a 3 foot high distance remaining sign with a 321 wingtip!
